CIT Computer Training Program—Summer 1999
Summer routines in the lab or office are often a bit less hectic, making it a great time to take a class or two to update and expand your computer skills in ways that will help you work more effectively during the rest of the year. The CIT training program’s summer session offers classes ranging from one-hour seminars to multi-session intensive courses. The term will run from the last week of June through early September.
New Classes Added
Classes on relational database, client/server, and networking will be featured this summer. A new seminar will discuss current developments in videocasting on the network and look ahead to the technology for delivering voice, data, and video over a single pipe. Following up on the popular introductory class offered in the spring term, April Merryman will lead a new Network Sniffer Workshop.
Statisticians and software specialists from MathSoft will present a series of topics in statistics and in the use of S-PLUS during a full-day program at the Natcher Conference Center in July.
Conversion to Office 2000 is beginning in some NIH components this summer and planning is under way for many others. To allow space for everyone who wants to come, Kami Vafai will offer an overview of the software in Balcony A at Natcher in early July.
